THE GRADUATE SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY CENTER of The City University of New York

Mission

The main objectives of the European Union Studies Center (EUSC) are to foster scholarship and general understanding, disseminate knowledge, and encourage debate about issues and challenges facing the European Union, both internally and externally. To promote these goals, the Center conducts academic seminars and coordinates interdisciplinary research on the European Union throughout The City University of New York, hosts visiting scholars, and runs an outreach program of lectures and international conferences.

These activities attract and benefit a diverse audience: they provide a neutral forum for members of the diplomatic community to meet informally with each other and with the general public; they offer the international business community new perspectives and scholarly analysis. They afford students and academics from CUNY and area universities an opportunity to meet diplomats, business officers, and representatives from other educational institutions.

Through these activities and the Center's publications of these activities, the EUSC continues to increase understanding of the interdependence and global links that exist between the countries of Europe and the United States.
